WPHACT 2.0: A fully massive Monte Carlo generator for four fermion physics at e^+ e^- colliders

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-11-17 v3

Abstract

WPHACT 2.0 is the new fully massive version of a MC program and unweighted event generator which computes all Standard Model processes with four fermions in the final state at e^+ e^- colliders. The program can now generate unweighted events for any subset of all four fermion final states in a single run, by making use of dedicated pre-samples which can cover the entire phase space. Improvements with respect to WPHACT 1.0 include the Imaginary Fermion Loop gauge restoring scheme, new phase space mappings, a new input system, the possibility to compute subsets of Feynman diagrams and options for including ISR via QEDPS, running alpha_{QED}, CKM mixing, resonances in q bar(q) channels.
